I had ambivalent feelings from visiting this farm. On the one hand, the location on a military base indicates the seriousness of the approach. On the other hand, growing in such volumes, they will need another 50 years to restore the population. What we were told is that the turtles did not return here after the tsunami, maybe the place is not promising and the banks need to be changed. However, it would be better if they started breeding turtles for soup. Industrial scale and thirst for money will quickly restore the population. The place is certainly beautiful, but the turtles still haven’t appreciated it.
